Rubber or rubber-like materials are widely used in industry and everyday life: for example in seals and rollers, in vibration dampers or for footwear. In general, a whole range of different types of adhesives are suitable for bonding rubber. However, the optimum adhesive always depends heavily on the rubber compound and the intended use. Further information. POM - Polyoxymethylene is one of the most frequently used engineering plastics due to its excellent sliding and wear behaviour. With its outstanding mechanical properties, POM bridges the gap to the more expensive metallic materials, often replaces them and is therefore one of the preferred construction materials, e.g. for precision mechanical parts. Normally, bonding is only possible after surface pre-treatment by flame treatment, etching with primer, corona or low-pressure plasma. Modern, high-performance adhesives, however, can do without this. Further information. Despite the fact that surfaces can sometimes be considered critical for adhesion, modern, highly developed adhesives and adhesive tapes consistently achieve good adhesive properties.

Foams are quite common in everyday life: They are used in everything from upholstery and mattresses to insulation materials. They are based on a wide range of plastics as raw materials. However, not every adhesive is suitable for every material. In view of the wide range of variants, it can therefore be useful to always test how the adhesive behaves on small samples of the material beforehand. Further information. It hardens in 5 minutes and cures in 10 minutes. It works well under a maximum temperature of 315°C (<100 continuous). It contains 54g/l solvent. It is not suitable for soft plastic and polypropylene. PA (polyamides) are high-strength and impact resistant. They have a high abrasion and wear resistance. Excellent sliding properties make them a preferred construction material in mechanical engineering or vehicle construction for slide bearings, gear wheels, dowels, screws and nuts or housings. Polyamides are insensitive to fuels and lubricants at temperatures up to 150 °C. A large proportion of polyamides are spun as synthetic fibres. The fibres have a high tensile strength and are used for textiles, climbing ropes, parachutes and hawsers, among other things.

CR (chloroprene rubber) is a synthetic rubber which is used, among other things, in vehicle construction and for heat-insulating sportswear. Hoses, cable sheathings, seals and drive belts based on chloroprene rubber are often used in the automotive industry due to their favourable combinations of properties. Dissolved in organic solvents, polychloroprene, like the polymer dispersion itself, is also suitable for various adhesives due to its good resistance. The worldwide consumption of chloroprene rubber including adhesives is estimated at over 300,000 tonnes per year. With this information, the adhesive and surface treatment can be selected based on technical data sheets, experience and the literature. If it is important, adhesive samples should be made and tested before the adhesives are used. In mechanical testing, the bonded joint is loaded until it breaks. The type of fracture provides information about the quality of the bond and indicates where defects occurred during bonding. An adhesion fracture is when the adhesive detaches from the joined part. A cohesion fracture is a fracture in the adhesive itself and a fracture in the part to be joined describes a fracture outside the adhesive surface in the part to be joined. The flowable, red silicone rubber (RTB/HB) has a high heat resistance and low elasticity. They are used as mould construction material for casting moulds for low-melting metals where high hardness is required. evenly colored. 6. APPLICATION: Apply a small amount of mixture to both surfaces and assemble parts

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) is used for sealing profiles. In contrast to NBR, EPDM has very good electrical insulation properties, excellent resistance to ozone and sunlight, and outstanding resistance to ageing. immediately (working time is approximately 5 min.). Remove any excess Plastic Weld immediately. 7. CURE The cold-crosslinking HTV silicone rubbers are plastically deformable materials which are used, for example, as cable sheathing, for electrical insulation or for sealing and damping purposes. The highly elastic silicone rubber (RTV/HE) is a quite flowable silicone rubber with very high elasticity and at the same time low viscosity. It is particularly suitable for the production of filigree elastic forms with pronounced undercuts. Fields of application are relief casting moulds or moulds for strongly structured decorative panels or wall elements. PA - polyamide is high-strength and impact-resistant. Its abrasion and wear resistance combined with excellent sliding properties make it a preferred construction material in machine or vehicle construction. Because of its high mechanical strength, it has now even displaced many metal components in vehicle construction - sometimes reinforced with carbon or glass fibres. But PA is not easy to bond. High bond strengths of PA materials require the use of special pre-treatment methods or specially developed, reactive adhesives. Further information.

Silicones - chemically more precisely known as poly(organo)siloxanes or siloxane - are synthetic polymers whose silicon atoms are connected via oxygen atoms (Si-O-Si). They occupy an intermediate position between organic and inorganic compounds. At present well over 10,000 different types of silicone are known. Silicone rubbers are differentiated according to the temperature required for cross-linking.

Apply the resin to both surfaces to be joined and clamp or tape the parts together until Super Steel has set hard. At the same time, it's possible to use adhesive techniques to integrate properties into the component that go beyond the actual joining, such as insulation resistance to electrical potentials, sealing against gases and liquids, damping of vibrations, protection against corrosion and compensation of different joining part dynamics. Chemically bonds certain types of plastic coving or trunking. For use with solvent weld waste products. Can achieve up to 55 joints per tub. Supplied with brush applicator. SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is the most widely used synthetic rubber today and is used in the production of tyres, seals and conveyor belts. We recently launched an adhesive tape on the market that allows the attachment of add-on parts such as parking sensors without the need for surface pretreatment on medium energy plastic surfaces. The double-sided Acrylic Plus Tape also offers good adhesion to modern, difficult-to-adhesive automotive paints.Acrylic foam tapes, whose adaptable acrylic foam absorbs tension, dampen vibrations and compensate for different, material-dependent temperature expansions. These are suitable for metal/plastic bonding and are used in automotive applications, for example, for bonding decorative and side protection strips, plastic cladding, reflectors and mirror glass. PMMA - polymethyl methacrylate, also known as Plexiglas and acrylic glass, impresses with its optical and surface properties. In everyday life, corrugated sheets, for example for the roofing of garden arbours or pergolas, are often mistakenly offered as plexiglass. In reality, they are made of polycarbonate or PVC, which can make a big difference when bonding the material. The same applies to so-called hobby glass from the DIY store. For bonding on low-energy plastics such as PMMA, the surface energy is of central importance. However, caution is advised when using certain solvents for bonding preparation. Otherwise, there is a wide range of high-performance adhesives on the market for efficiently bonding PMMA to numerous other materials. Further information. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) has intertwined polymer chains. It's very weather-resistant and can be used as a substitute for glass. Optical lenses and spectacle lenses, glazing, lamps and sanitary parts are made from PMMA. It's indispensable in dentistry, where it's used for dentures. For this purpose, the plastic is dyed with metal salts to create the typical pink colour. The applications are manifold. For example, PMMA can be used for polymer concrete, glazing, lenses, optical fibres, bathtubs, light covers and adhesives.
